Highlights from our week:
- Special Theme of the Week: Pumpkins
- Heart Word of the Week: the
- In language arts, we practiced recognizing the setting of a story (where the story takes place). We also began talking about beginning of a story, middle of a story, and end of a story. With a nonfiction story, we talked about how pictures help provide us with information that the words might not tell us.
- In writing, we practiced coming up with descriptive words in order to describe a pumpkin.
- In math, we have been working on using descriptive words like: all, none, most, least, many, less, equal, etc.
- In science, we were introduced to Force and Motion. We used pumpkins to experiment with pushing and pulling. We also used pumpkins to describe location of an object and direction of movement.
- During Community Centers, we have been practicing sharing and working together as a team. At our science center, we used cubes to measure how tall our pumpkins are. We also used string to measure how far around a pumpkin is. At our Harvest Center, we have created and added signs to name the various items we have. We have also created signs with the price of the produce.
- Firefighters visited our school this week to talk about fire safety. They also encouraged families to check the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. In addition, they recommended that all families talk about an escape plan in case of a fire and a meeting spot outside the house.
